A & B Shares A & B Shares

A and B Shares

A & B shares or multiple share classes can be used to give special rights to specific groups of shareholders in a UK limited company. These are often differing voting rights or rights to dividends.  With this service you can create share classes so that family members can be paid different dividends, or create class B shares for employee shares, or set up a non-voting class of shares.  You can also build in restrictions as to how shares can be allotted and transferred within each different share class


Important note: Independent professional advice should be sought on the taxation consequences of issuing shares with differing class rights.
